The problem is the title gives you no information about what the letter is actually about. An open letter could do anything from raising an important for the community...to something that's tedious and irrelevant (e.g. "An open letter to the linux foundation about the lack of vegan food in the cafeteria").

That seems to be general policy. I track title edits and they are frequently (though certainly not always) made less informational: https://hackernewstitles.netlify.com/ .. there are pros and cons so it's not a clear cut good or bad thing.

Fascinating! Thank you!

See my comment for the gist of the article.

Indeed, why should one.

This letter doesn't really inform the reader of anything. The very fact that it talks around the issue so much that you cannot even discern at all what the issue was, hints at "I don't need, nor do I want to know".
